Do you have the 'Lewin' book. There are two photos of Peter there on page 61. I can scan them for you if you don't have the book but they are not the best quality. They are L&GRP photos, nos 23891 and 23892. I guess the originals might be better.
Kind regards

At last we are now able to start giving members access to Narrow Lines
back issues on line.

Thus far, issues 1 to 80 have been scanned and uploaded.

If you are a member, simply log on and follow the main menu link to the
archives.

If you aren't - well, there is yet another benefit which you are missing
out on!

Hi Bill

I am not sure I see the relevance of the question. Whether one is in the
UK or abroad this remains a new benefit for members only included in
their subscription. And it is an archive - it does not bring current or
recent issues to everyone digitally.

The last time I looked membership was for a paper product with mailing charges based on global location so I was inquiring whether there was an electronic membership that was not discriminate based on location.

Having recently bought examples of all his Leek and Manifold range, I can recommend him wholeheartedly. He has no web site, no PayPal, no credit card facility but is happy to discuss on the phone and then pay by good old cheque in the post.
The kits are very complete. I was surprised to find the carriages came with all wheels couplings glazing and even seats. All that was missing was the William Morris wallpaper for the first class compartments and lamp shades. However, The lamp shades are now available from Zamzoodled via shapeways 3D printers. I am working on the correct wallpaper with the archivist of Sandersons....
Paul

I am not sure about long transporter but otherwise ALL the stock that the L+M possessed. Kits are all etched brass bodies, whitemetal cast bogies and fittings, all glazing material, cast-in-stone type resin seats with whitemetal armrests, all wheels. Couplings are scale choppers but in whitemetal so I am replacing with John's zamzoodled ones. The transporter waggons are scale width which means that a standard O gauge waggon will not fit - either the back to back on the standard gauge needs to be opened up or better still fit regular scaleseven wheelsets from Slaters.

I have now built all these and they go together well. The carriages are time consuming to build but good level of detail - if I can get them finished you can see them at Burton. More kits here to hone your new found soldering skills! From memory, Carriages are about £125 each or two for £220 waggons £35-45ish.

Welshpool and Llanfair -

Original Beyer Peacock locos The Earl and The Countess
original third and brake carriage (as wonderfully represented by the Boston Lodge replicas in GW brown and cream)
I will await comment from Adrian Gray on these as he has built at least the carriage (as he did it so beautifully and wrote it up in an MRJ many moons ago) - not sure how he is doing with the loco??

There are also a couple of other items, I think from memory Snailbeach trucks??

It is a shame that Kevin only deals via specialist shows or on a one to one order system. I think he could sell rather more if he was more accessable but it does make the models a little more exclusive!

James,

Either write to Kevin with an SAE - address details given elsewhere in this thread - or ring him up and ask about the kits. Kevin is very keen and will talk about them very happily.
Kevin is a professional kit designer - which is to say that he dos the job for other manufacturers, mainly for SG prototypes.

The Welshpool carriage that Paul was so kind about was Kevin's first on his own account and his experience showed very clearly - it was very well designed and, granted that I've done a lot of etched kits in my time, I though it a doddle to put together.
The Welshpool wagons, standard whitemetal kits, are also very well made and go together nicely.

By the time Kevin got to doing the Welshpool locos he was well into his stride and the kits are both comprehensive, well-designed and pretty challenging. I confess I got about halfway through and had to break off from modelling for both health and family reasons and it hasn't been the first model I've picked up to try and get back into the swing of things!

Both Welshpool and Leek & Manifold railways had pretty generous loading gauges, so be careful to make sure the models will fit on your proposed layout - the L&M carriages are enormous!!

Hi David and Adrian
Absolutely.. Messrs Allen and Co had an arrangement with Catterley and Whitfield coal merchants of Tunstall, to supply house coal to Hulme End in 1906 whilst Mr Catterley was in hospital with a hernia.
In reality, mostly as Dapol had it RTR and it looked pretty....
